Do the string alignment also check the panhard rod is not bent or the bushings are off center. There is a chance that if you swap the lower control arms left to right that it may correct the problem. Then again you could end up with the rear axle dog tracking in the opposite direction. When you have...

Sounds like the power brake system is not holding a vacuum. Inspect the hose fitting on the canister which has an internal check valve, including the grommet, also the hose, and listen for any air leaks around the chamber. If you can borrow a hand vacuum pump and hook it up to the canister, it would...

Any auto parts store will have generic brake line in lengths like 10", 20", 30" etc. Just measure the length from the M/C to the current SR-5 slave cylinder hose attachment fitting and get a GM brake line that is slightly longer then that dim. If you want the bling then go the braided...

A possible Toyota option is the MA46 axle used on the light pickups and vans. But only the 2WD Van will have a 4 lug mounting while the others will be 5 or 6 wheel lugs. They are all within a few millimeters of being the same width, but none would not be a direct bolt in. You are probably better off...

It sound like an electrical issue. Odds are low that ALL the injectors are plug up with $hit at one time. I would first just try cleaning the ground connections for the injectors. If that does not solve the problem you should verify that the injectors are getting a signal. Use a noid lite or a VOM [...

I do not think you could justify the cost of a shim kit for one set of cams. You can typically get new shims from a Toyota dealer in just one or two days. If there is a problem in Germany, there are several motorcycles that use the same size shim. You will probably only need a couple new shims for e...

First, verify that there isn't any M/C leaks, which could indicate air in the system. You can made a longer push rod out of a metric bolt. Grind down the hex head so the radius matches the stock push rod end. Take your time when making the balled end on the rod. You do not want offset loads going in...

It is appears that you have an "S" series diff. The Corolla' s built with an "S" diff will have a 6.38" ring gear and either a 3.9 or 4.10 ratio. The center section will have 8 attachment bolts. The "T" diff, which comes in the GTS, will have 10 attachment bolts an...

It sounds like you got water in the engine some way but it appears that you have dodge the bullet. I would just keep an eye on the oil and also the coolant level. Put a mark on the coolant over flow bottel at it's current level. This will make it easy to tell the level is changing. DaveW7

"2) I checked oil cap and i saw a little milky things " Swooki This is a tell tale indicator that you have water in the oil, i.e. head gasket, or worst a cracked head or block. If you want to comfirm the problem before breaking into the engine, take it to a shop and have them do a leak dow...

Yupper the old head gasket trick!!! I would not drive it until it fixed. There a good chance that you can screw up the head sealing surfaces. Buy an OEM or a good after market head gasket such as a Fel-Pro. Do not cheap out on a head gasket. The rest of the gaskets in a kit should not really matter....

There is the possiblity that the outer ring on the crank pulley has moved. My first 4AGE had moved almost 20 degree from TDC. Since then, I've had another one off by about 6*. Remove number one spark plug and insert a long screw drive or rod, if you do not a dial indicator. Slowly crank the engine b...

Another issue is the RH motor mount bracket. The FWD block will probably already be taped for the engine mount bracket, but the FWD alternator mounting bracket will interfer with a stock AE86 RH mounting bracket. You will need a RWD alternator mounting bracket or fab/mod your own engine mount or mod...

The big port is not a torque motor, it needs to rev. Simple solution is a down shift. With that said, it could be bad gas. I would try switching to a different brand of gas, or go to a medium grade first to see if there is any improvement. It is hard to believe that a stock motor has problem with de...

The water lines to the waxstat should not prevent the engine from idling. In fact it should cause it to idle at a HIGHER RPM. I'm thinking your issue an injector problem. It sound like you are only running on the cold start injector. Verify that you are getting a signal to the injectors. Use a noid ...

You are going to have to vent the tank, either thru the gas cap or a breather. Air has to displace the fuel being pumped to the engine. You can probably use the current line already in the car and just run it to your air cleaner. Dave W

There are two adjustments for the idle. First there is a black plastic cap on the TB to adjust air and the 2nd is the set screw on the TB shaft, to adjust the butterfly opening. [needs a 3mm allen wrench to adj]Dave W7
